Model Evaluation

Dear Evaluator, we would your feedback on Species Distribution Models (SDMs). Let’s start describing your role and why your interest on evaluating a SMDs, then select the species and start your own pathway of evaluation.

At the end of your evaluation you will received via a summary of all your feedback.

1. Describe your role

Multiple choices????
We will provide here the link to Google forms to include name and email.

User	Expertise	I want to improve the model on this specific issue..	I want the model to help me..
Modelers	Statistician Modeling	Model statistical assumption Evaluate alternative model algorithms
Evaluators	Taxonomic expert Survey expert		Enhance knowledge of the species range
Resource managers	Forest Management Conservation practitioner		Make choices about where to sample in the future (i.e., areas of high uncertainty

2. Select species

Please select the project + species + region available for evaluation. It will show evaluation status.

See this link as example of how it will be…….

3. Build your own pathway

We summarize here the model design……For instance,

The BAM V5 models were produced for the purpose of modelling the distribution and abundance of 143 breeding birds in the boreal forest across Canada. The primary purposes of the models are to accurately map the distribution of bird density on the landscape and sum those predictions to estimate population size.

The model is appropriate for….	Ranking (these are some examples)

The landing page of model Evaluation is a series of maps and graphs that evaluators will review and then describe their main findings (e.g., areas with poor predictions here and there) and some feedback
